We sure have some ambitious people in this thread! The one change I'd make to DuneWars Revival is: I'd remove the sandstorms, or at least I would make them not destroy tile improvements, or at least I would make them not destroy improvements not on sand. I mean, sure, they do feel Dune-y, and...

If you're going to make another release of this mod at some point, could you consider maybe moving the call to GC.getDefineINT("CIVICOPTION_INVENTIONS") in CvPlot::calculateNatureYield out of the loop (the one over civic infos)? I assume that the return value of that call can never change while...

I really love Fall From Heaven's setting, and just for that reason, I hope that if there is going to be a great (dark) fantasy mod for Civ6, it will have its own setting. The one thing better than one great fantasy mod for a Civilization game is two great fantasy mods for Civilization games!

I've been checking this thread fairly regularly recently to see if a release is coming, good to know that it's not far off anymore even if it didn't quite hit the original schedule! Also, as a complete aside: I find it interesting how specialists and Supremacy match up in terms of game...

The Steamworks update for Civ4BTS breaks icons in more mods than just Planetfall. Don't know why, it doesn't seem like there should be any relation. Anyway, you can roll the update back and that should fix things (or at least it did for me)...

The CivFanatics link seems to be a broken redirect to http://sourceforge.net/projects/babylon5mod-for-civ4/files/latest/download?source=files so maybe this direct link could work better?

It loaded while I was at work, yay! ... although from reading about all the bugs and planned changes, now I'm not sure whether I want to play just now or wait for the patch first...

Linux player here, Steam shows BERT as installed but nothing's changed inside the game and I don't see any files that look like they indicate BERT in the game directory... I'll give it a couple of working days to see if things just weren't quite as synchronous as I thought they would be.

Pirates, please. I have no idea how to get them off the ground. Not that I ever tried more than once, but that was painful enough as the sea is not very productive but *is* really, really dangerous with all those IoTDs.

Obviously the first thing to note here is that Civ4 beats both games in the soundtrack department ;). No, but seriously though, aside the ancient era where the music works mostly as an incentive to advance as soon as possible, Civ4's soundtrack is the only one in the series that I've felt...

Something worth noting that I haven't seen anyone mentioned yet, from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Md5wzKsjK_8#t=10m44s: Biomes will have gameplay differences, not just aesthetic ones. Exactly what kind of differences there will be wasn't mentioned, but there will be some gameplay impact.

http://www.polygon.com/2015/3/12/8198201/civilization-beyond-earth-patch-creators-fixing-mistakes-gdc-2015 This is mostly the same material as in the "We should have been more audacious" thread, but through a different source, and besides I think we could use a new thread on it without...

The lack of oil on Planet is part of the lore, yeah. Some of the quotes make a pretty big deal out of how Planet's ecosystem is managed and has minimal waste, which would imply that you don't get the sort of deposition of massive amounts of algae that leads to oil. I... used to dislike...

http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/238152/We_should_have_been_more_audacious__A_Civilization_Beyond_Earth_retrospective.php I think this puts the game's problems with presentation into perspective. Boring leaders? The designers had written a lot more, but all that actually made it all the...

If I may ask: Have you played Planetfall, and how did you feel about it compared to CivBE?
